1851 Antique nautical chart, Alabama, Mississippi, Mobile, Horn Island, Biloxi
Chart of the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Mapping from Lake Maurepas, Lake Pontchartrain, and Lake Borgne on the west, through the Delta of the Mississippi, Mobile Bay, and on to Bon Secour Bay on the east. Other locations noted include Chandeleur Sound, Isle au Breton Sound, Oyster Bay, Bay Ronde, Blind Bay, Garden Island Bay, East Bay,. Various charting, astronomical, magnetic, current, and tidal stations are shown as well. IMPORTANT NOTE: All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
